Roxana Saberi trial in Iran
"There is nothing resembling justice in Iran’s prosecution of Roxana Saberi. The government’s accusations against Ms. Saberi, a journalist with dual American-Iranian citizenship, have fluctuated wildly — culminating only last week with charges that she spied for the United States government. Her one-day trial this week was held in secret, and state officials have not revealed any evidence against her," according to an editorial in the New York Times.
Considering how US-Iran relations are, I wonder how wise it was for her to visit Iran. I am all for journalism and taking risks, but if you have seen the movie "Not Without My Daughter," or recall what Iranians did to our embassy staff, Iran is one of the most unsafe places for Americans to visit.
